Axios reported their scoop Thursday night:

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee will release a 1,000-page document on Friday detailing allegations of politicization of the FBI and Justice Department under the Biden administration, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: The report, obtained exclusively by Axios, will serve as the basis for one of House Republicans’ top oversight investigations if they take back control of the majority in next week’s midterm.

• It’s an eleventh-hour political move by the minority members of the Judiciary Committee to stir up former President Trump’s base days before the election.
• Trump’s grievances against the FBI — reignited by federal agents’ search of Mar-a-Lago in August — have long been an obsession on the right.

Reality check: Trump himself sought to exert pressure on his own Justice Department throughout his presidency, beginning with his demands for “loyalty” from former FBI director James Comey and culminating in his attempts to use the agency to remain in power after the 2020 election.

• Geoffrey Berman, the former top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, wrote in a recent memoir: “Throughout my tenure as U.S. attorney, Trump’s Justice Department kept demanding that I use my office to aid them politically, and I kept declining — in ways just tactful enough to keep me from being fired.”

Between the lines: Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) — who will likely become chairman of the powerful House Judiciary Committee next year should Republicans control the chamber — is the leading member behind the report, which relies heavily on reports from FBI whistleblowers.

• Jordan has made clear he will use the committee to make the next two years of Biden’s presidency as painful as possible for Democrats, with this document serving as a road map for how he’ll navigate one of his key priorities.
• The report’s table of contents — which includes references to Hunter Biden, school boards, pro-life facilities and churches, and Facebook — underscores the highly political nature of the investigation.

Details: The report highlights five key allegations by whistleblowers that Republicans maintain show a “systemic culture of unaccountability” and “rampant corruption, manipulation, and abuse.” They include:

1. “Artificially inflating statistics about domestic violent extremism.”
2. “Abusing its counterterrorism authorities to investigate parents who spoke at school board meetings,” by creating a special “threat tag” to track school board-related cases. (Note: A federal judge recently threw out a lawsuit challenging a DOJ memo on school board threats.)
3. Abusing its “foreign intelligence authorities to spy on American citizens, including people associated with the campaign of President Trump in 2016.”
4. “Clearing the Bureau of employees who dissent from its woke, leftist agenda.”
5. Prioritizing political cases over criminal ones and drawing resources away from “real law enforcement duties.”

What they’re saying: “This report is a road map of where [Jordan] will go,” a House GOP Judiciary staffer told Axios. “Lots of whistleblowers are coming out of the woodwork to complain about the FBI. Jordan is pursuing these vectors into the FBI.”

• “This is just the information that Jordan accumulated while in the minority. Just wait until he has the full power [of the chairmanship] to gather real information,” they added.
• The FBI and DOJ declined to comment. A spokesperson for the House Judiciary Committee Democrats did not respond to requests for comment.

Zoom out: Top Republicans have spent months meticulously plotting the probes they plan to launch if they’re in power. House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who is expected to become Speaker in a GOP-controlled House, has already green-lit an aggressive approach to oversight.

The Times of Israel reported on some recent comments from the ADL, specifically about the group’s purpose, which seems to be in direct conflict of what they claim to represent. Understanding what they are really advocating for might have everything to do with what we are seeing from the left as they declare that everyone is ‘Anti-semitic,’ even when they are Jewish.

The ADL says that their motto is ‘fight hate for good’, but what if you hate stupid Marxist policies, does that make someone guilty of a hate crime now? Let’s see.

“ADL says including far right in next government will hurt the country globally,” The Times of Israel reported, adding:

The Anti Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt retweeted a Twitter thread that singled out New York progressive group Jews For Racial and Economic Justice this week.

The Anti-Defamation League expresses concern “over likely inclusion of extremists” in the next Israeli government.

The ADL offers congratulations to Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu but notes that the coalition “will likely include representatives from the Otzma Yehudit and Religious Zionist parties, including their leaders Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich,” both of which “have a long history of engaging in racist, anti-Arab, homophobic and other hateful behavior.”

“We believe that including these far-right individuals and parties in an Israeli government would run counter to Israel’s founding principles, and impact its standing, even among its strongest supporters.”

The ADL says it “will not shirk from calling out expressions by, and policies of, the Israeli government and Israeli leaders that are hateful, racist, anti-Arab, homophobic and anti-democratic.”

“ADL was once a very useful organization. Before it was taken over by a handful of far leftist communist activists,” one poster wrote in reaction to the story.

“The folks at the ADL consider Christian Zionists like me who say that Judea and Samaria (“West Bank”) belong to the Jewish people to be Anti-Semites. Aren’t they really saying they consider Mr. Ben Gvir and Mr. Smotrich to be “Anti-Semites” too?,” another poster wrote, reacting to the conflicting ideas of what anti-Semitism really is.

Yes, that is what it sounds like from the article. So, the ADL is saying that people who are ‘anti-Arab’ are Anti-Semites. Is that the definition of Anti-Semites?

It seems like it all depends on who you ask to define the term.

Remember the ADL, a non-government agency (NGO) is working as a government informant in exposing the Oath Keepers, who were targets of the corrupt US House Committee on Jan. 6th.

Hundreds of elected officials, military members and law enforcement officers appear on the membership lists of the far-right Oath Keepers militia, a new report published by the Anti-Defamation League shows.

So calling someone, an Anti-Semite is about anyone who doesn’t go along with the radical left government.

Vivek Ramaswamy, co-founder and executive chairman of Strive, a job training and career development services nonprofit agency with service providers across the U.S, who joined CNBC’s ‘Squawk Box’ on Thursday to discuss the path to turning Twitter into a free speech platform.

“Free speech isn’t about protecting the speech you agree with. It’s about protecting the speech you *disagree* with,” Vivek posted after the interview.

The hosts on CNBC were completely and visibly uncomfortable as Vivek did an excellent job of arguing and advancing the points of free speech, saying that we – in the US – need to restore debate in the country and stop calling opinions ‘hate speech.

WATCH:

NUCLEAR MIC-DROP @VivekGRamaswamy 🔥🎤

Notice that CNBC pushed the -all too common-  theme of election deniers, which apparently we are not allowed to talk about:

Vivek: I think the way you treat the misinformation point is different from the way you treat the category of hate speech. I think you can’t have hate speech in the category because all opinions are allowed.

Andrew Ross Sorkin: There are a lot of people who deny the election results of this last election, some of whom, by the way, looked like they may win next week. Do you think that there should be people correcting the record?

Vivek: I think there should be people correcting the record through free speech and open debate, not through silencing them and not through censorship…

Sorkin: How concerned are you with either democracy or the very idea that there are large parts of the population who believe things that are just factually untrue today?

Vivek: I am deeply concerned about threats to democracy, but I think those threats to democracy, Andrew, are plural. And one of those threats to democracy is the centralized determination of truth. By the way, and here’s the invention we haven’t talked about, where the government itself is now coordinating with Twitter, with Facebook, etc. to direct critics of the government to be silenced. This is something that I think is also a threat to democracy, where you have a government using private companies to censor.

Vivek wrote after the interview:

“The answer to bad speech is not less speech. It is more speech. That’s the American way. It should be the way forward for Twitter,” he wrote.

“I vehemently disagree with those who want to burn our flag, but I will defend to the end their right to do it. That’s what America itself.”

“People made the same pro-censorship arguments when the printing press was invented; when the telephone was invented; with the birth of the modern internet; and now with the birth of social media companies. Free speech isn’t a liberal arts luxury. It’s a precondition for democracy.”

“Simple principle for Twitter: let the user decide what they do & don’t get to see, rather than deciding the answer to that top-down. Decentralization is better than centralization.”

The Democrats are screaming about the loss of Democracy to motivate people to get out to vote- but are they being honest about the kind of Democracy they are talking about?

Tucker Carlson, the host of the Fox News program, talked about how the Democrats are in panic mode over losing their ‘democracy.’ He reminded his audience that the Democrats are using the Soviet use of the word ‘Democracy,’ saying that the left’s use of the word represented something oppressive and cruel.

Perfect for Obama.

Katie Hobbs campaigning with Obama: “Democracy is the system that elected President Obama—and democracy is the system that will send Kari Lake back to whatever dark corner of the internet she came from.”

The form of government that the Democrats want is oppressive and cruel in the same way that North Korea is a Democracy. Carlson said that the American left is using a different use of the word than Americans are used to hearing about, and he believes that the misunderstanding is an intentional misuse of the word,” said citing former President Barack Obama, who is now campaigning for and slamming Republicans.

“The purpose they are using the word is to give credibility to the criminals in charge,” Tucker said, then playing an audio tape of Stalin and reminding people that the left supported him, along with their media partners.

Carlson also played numerous clips of Obama yelling about the loss of Democracy if Republicans win in a few days.

It is not anything different than what is happening today, he said, referring to when Stalin was in power and the American left supported his fascist regime.

So- What are Soviet Democracies? Check it out, see if it makes sense while the elite Democrats- who love their identity politics starts to make sense:

“Soviet democracy, or council democracy, is a political system in which the rule of the population by directly elected soviets (Russian for “council”) is exercised. The councils are directly responsible to their electors and bound by their instructions using a delegate model of representation. Such an imperative mandate is in contrast to a free mandate, in which the elected delegates are only responsible to their conscience. Delegates may accordingly be dismissed from their post at any time or be voted out (recall).

In a Soviet democracy, voters are organized in basic units, for example, the workers of a company, the inhabitants of a district, or the soldiers of a barracks. They directly send the delegates as public functionaries, which act as legislators, government, and courts in one. In contrast to earlier democracy models, according to John Locke and Montesquieu, there is no separation of powers. The councils are elected on several levels: At the residential and business class, delegates are sent to the local councils in plenary assemblies. In turn, these can delegate members to the next level. The system of delegation continues to the Congress of Soviets at the state level. The electoral processes thus take place from the bottom upwards. The levels are usually tied to administrative levels.”

Tucker slammed the Democrats on Wednesday about how Democrats have failed us, because they are corrupt and incompetent.

WATCH:

The left is nothing at all, if they aren’t racist and sexist. In a continued propaganda war against White females, the obsessed left have freaked out after hearing that polling is showing White Suburban Women are tired of the Democrats and planning on voting for Republicans.

Instead of asking why the Democrat Party can’t please White Women and why Democrats don’t represent their concerns, Democrats attack White Women with nasty, nasty verbal attacks.

And this is why- Democrats are likely going to lose:

Democrats are getting hit with a one-two electoral punch. The shift among Hispanics in key states and regions is the straight left, and the swing among suburban white women is the overhand right.

Two blocs they thought were a lock.

It makes a wipeout so much more likely.

The chicks at the View TV show are not ok with it and sounded off just days ahead of the looming mid-terms, basically called White women who vote for Republicans, escalating the violent rhetoric against the group, as vermin.

The Daily Mail reported with some details about the show and the comments by the View:

The View’s vocally liberal hosts sparked debate on Thursday, with Sunny Hostin comparing white women who vote Republican to ‘roaches’, Joy Behar labeling the GOP a ‘cult’ and Sara Haines saying every Republican candidate in the midterms was an election denier. 

The women were discussing the forthcoming elections and key issues like abortion, crime and inflation when Hostin – a devout Catholic who is anti-abortion but thinks it should be legal and unrestricted – referred to a poll which showed the number of white women voting Republican is increasing. 

‘The abortion issue. I read a poll that white, suburban women are now voting going to vote Republican. It’s almost like roaches voting for Raid. They are voting against their own self-interest. Do they want to live in Gilead? Do they want to live in The Handmaid’s Tale?’ she said. 

Watch a little:

‘It’s insulting to the voter. Do we love democracy or not? People make up decisions on what’s right for their family.  

Sunny Hostin on abortion and inflation

‘The abortion issue. I read a poll that white Republican suburban, women are now voting going to vote Republican. It’s almost like roaches voting for Raid. They are voting against their own. self-interest. Do they want to live in Gilead? Do they want to live in The Handmaid’s Tale?’ 

People are not educating themselves on it. Domestic inflation is down to corporate greed.

Joy Behar on the GOP 

You’re not voting for Republicans, you’re voting for a cult! Remember that. It’s a cult. It’s not Republicans anymore! 

Inflation fluctuates, democracy does not. I feel like people are not comprehending the seriousness of what is going on.

Sara Haines on ‘election deniers’

‘It used to be just Donald Trump, now it’s everyone running on the Republican side. 

‘That scares me more than anything. Even women’s rights is second for me.’ 

‘The idea that you should have a say for everyone else’s vote… You had a different view on abortion not that long ago,’ she challenged Hostin. 

Hostin shot back: ‘I have that view. I am Catholic. That is my faith. I believe that abortion is wrong – for me. There is a separation between government and church. 

‘I do not have the right to tell someone else. They are voting against their own self interest.’ 

The conversation moved on, with Sara Haines lamenting Democrats for not successfully enough assuaging voters’ fears over crime, and admitting that Republicans are stronger on messaging. 

‘I would say the Republicans are [winning the messaging battle.] I tend to vote independent and left. 

‘This is what’s frustrating me right now…the issues we’re seeing the most is inflation – that’s low hanging fruit, any party in control during a bad economy is going to be blamed – but then crime and abortion are the other two top issues.

The problem with the crime is, the only thing the left is saying, is “it’s a right-wing talking point, it’s nothing.” 

‘I don’t believe the left is light on crime but what people say matters to them. You can’t dismiss them. 

‘If they say there’s crime, it doesn’t even matter what the statistics are, if they feel unsafe, you have to answer that. The left is not soft on crime. 

‘Only super far progressives might believe in alternatives to police and all these weird things, but the majority of people that are moderate and left are not soft on crime.

‘Answer the question though don’t say, “the right’s making it up”, say “I hear you, and this is what I’ll do.”‘ 

She went on to say that the top issue for her, above women’s rights, was ‘election deniers’. 

‘It used to be just Donald Trump, now it’s everyone running on the Republican side. 

‘That scares me more than anything. Even women’s rights is second for me.’ 

Behar then jumped it: ‘You’re not voting for Republicans, you’re voting for a cult! Remember that. It’s a cult. It’s not Republicans anymore!’ 

Shake my head…

President Donald Trump called for the impeachment of his nemesis Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R‑KY) Thursday, just days ahead of a midterm election in which McConnell could take the reins of the upper chamber.

Earlier in the month McConnell showed his true colors, when he tried to tank a Republican who had been endorsed by Trump:

— 🇺🇸ProudArmyBrat (@leslibless) October 31, 2022

While theorizing that McConnell could buck the GOP and collude with the Democrats to “blow the debt ceiling up,” Trump insinuated that the Democrats may have blackmail on him and argued that impeachment could be a remedy if McConnell betrays the party.

Trump’s comment was prompted when he was pressed by the host of American Sunrise on Real America News about Democrats “scheming” to collude “with some of the RINOs,” an abbreviation for Republicans in name only, “to blow the debt ceiling up.”

“Mitch McConnell keeps allowing [them] to have it. I mean, they ought to impeach Mitch McConnell if he allows that. Frankly, Mitch McConnell, something has to be — they have something on him. How he approves this thing is incredible,” he said in the interview.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said he hopes Twitter’s new owner, Elon Musk, acts “responsibly.”

“He’s going to be in a position of responsibility with respect to an important platform, and we hope that he exercises that position responsibly,” Mayorkas told ABC News Chief Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas during an interview at DHS headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Musk, who acquired Twitter for roughly $44 billion last week, and has spent his first-week making radical changes to the platform and pushing for free speech.

Mayorkas focused on a post that Musk made, and retweeted and responded to something that Hillary Clinton had posted, claiming that Musk had removed the inaccurate post “rather rapidly.”

Mayorkas said that, ultimately, it’s up to Congress to regulate social media companies. The government, however, is within its purview to combat mis- and disinformation, he said.

"He's going to be in a position of responsibility with respect to an important platform, and we hope that he exercises that position responsibly," DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told @pierretabc. https://t.co/VYwVtwIrKD

“For example, if it involves the election — if there is false information that [says] you don’t need to vote on Nov. 8… if you miss [the] voting date, you can ask … for permission to vote five days later — with no factual basis, inaccurate information that could deceive an individual into missing their right to exercise their vote. That is something that we will correct,” he said. “That is our responsibility. That is our mission. And we execute it quite proudly.”

Disinformation from nation-state actors could be seen by a vast audience, he said, including during the 2022 midterm election, if it is not stomped out.

“Here in the online environment, the potential audience is vast,” he said. “And what we do, we have a responsibility to make sure that the American public receives accurate information.”

Earlier this year, DHS established and then quickly shut down a Disinformation Governance Board that was aimed at combatting disinformation but it was criticized by both sides of the aisle.

Mayorkas told ABC News that leaders have a responsibility to combat misinformation.

“The words of leaders matter a lot, and we need leaders to act responsibly,” he said. “It is the responsibility of government, not just the Department of Homeland Security. The responsibility of government. It is a responsibility of leaders. It is the responsibility of people in positions of trust to communicate accurate information to the American public and disabuse them of falsehoods.”

He is concerned about the “temperature” in the country and the divisiveness, the secretary added

Lula presidential win a boost for Brazil-China ties, BRICS, experts say

The previous Lula government built strong ties with Beijing and helped to establish the BRICS forum.

Beijing congratulates Lula on election win, says it is willing to promote partnership ‘to a new level’

BRICS is 40% of the world’s population:

NBC News reported:

“Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro for the first time on Wednesday asked protesters blocking roads nationwide to lift blockades as demonstrations are restricting people’s right to come and go and bringing losses to the economy.

Protests erupted on Sunday after the far-right incumbent’s narrow loss to leftist Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in an Oct. 30 runoff presidential election. Some of the protesters have called for military intervention to keep Bolsonaro in power.

In a video posted on social media, Bolsonaro said he understood people’s frustration at the result of the election.

“I know you are upset… Me too. But we have to keep our heads straight,” he said on a tweeted message. “I will make an appeal to you: clear the highways.”

The president said blocking roads make the ongoing protests illegitimate. He encouraged people to choose other ways to demonstrate.

Bolsonaro added the Federal Highway Police (PRF) had mobilized to help dispel protesters and clear roads. But he said they are overwhelmed because protests are taking place on multiple locations. “The difficulties are enormous.”

Brazilian authorities said they were making headway in their efforts to clear blockades set up across the country by truckers.

At the same time, Rueters reported on Wednesday, ” Brazil moves closer to China corn exports as Beijing approves traders”:

Chinese customs updated its list of approved Brazilian corn exporters on Wednesday, a move a Brazilian agriculture official said could jumpstart sales of corn to the world’s second-largest economy.

The approvals could reshape global trade flows and result in fewer sales for farmers in the United States, the world’s top corn supplier. China relied on the United States and Ukraine for most of its corn supplies but Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has disrupted exports.

“It is a good alternative for Brazil, having (more) markets to send products to,” said Glauco Bertoldo, an inspections director for vegetable products at Brazil’s agriculture ministry.

He said in an interview the list of approved Brazilian facilities that can export corn to China may be updated to include more units in coming weeks.

The new list on the website of China’s General Administration of Customs included 136 corn export facilities, including facilities owned by Archer-Daniels-Midland Co, (ADM.N), Bunge Ltd (BG.N), Cargill, Louis Dreyfus Company and Cofco International.

Cofco declined to comment. Other exporters did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Once China starts buying corn from Brazil, traditional Brazilian corn importers such as Spain and Egypt could shift some of their purchases to the United States.

“There will probably be some horse trading. But China is going to end up buying more corn from South America and less from the United States,” said Craig Turner, a grain broker with StoneX.

Small Chinese imports from Brazil may begin soon, but larger shipments are not expected until the next harvest begins in early 2023, he added.

Beijing and Brasilia had signed a protocol for exporting corn from Brazil to China in 2014 but little trade had happened due to complex inspection requirements.

The countries agreed to a revised protocol during talks in May, just months after Russia invaded Ukraine.

China customs also published a list of 14 Brazilian facilities approved to export soymeal to the country, including those owned by Bunge Ltd and Olam , according to a document posted on customs website.

Olam did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Demand for soymeal however is expected to be limited, given China’s large domestic production capacity, said traders and analysts.

China is expected to import 18 million tonnes of corn in the 2022/23 crop year that began in October, according to the agriculture ministry.

China’s imports from Ukraine have dwindled to less than 2,000 tonnes in September this year, leaving it reliant on the U.S. for the bulk of its overseas supplies.
